The Perils of JavaSchools

一篇文章，说明我们为什么要学习c/c++,我们为什么要理解指针和递归，java 作为一门语言本身没有错，但是，正如作者写道：Heck, in 1900, Latin and Greek were required subjects in college, not because they served any purpose, but because they were sort of considered an obvious requirement for educated people. In some sense my argument is no different that the argument made by the pro-Latin people (all four of them). "[Latin] trains your mind. Trains your memory. Unraveling a Latin sentence is an excellent exercise in thought, a real intellectual puzzle, and a good introduction to logical thinking,"，所以，作者才有这样发人深省的疑问：Are pointers and recursion the Latin and Greek of Computer Science?。
